It was a peaceful night, the cold wind flows through the trees making it look like it's dancing along. No stars but only dark clouds can be seen, looks like it's going to rain cats and dogs.

She sighed, looking through the window as the rain started to fall. There's this feeling again like something Is gonna happen sooner or later. 

A knock on the door broke the silence across the room. She walked towards it but doesn't have any intention to open it. "Yeah?" she asked, waiting for him to say something.

"Uh I brought you some food, you must've been hungry. You haven't gone out of your room since..." he paused as if thinking of something. 

"Since?" she repeated, obviously making him sorry for what he did that night.

"Since... the night i... i... k...kissed you"now he felt so stupid.

"I'm...I'm sorry about that. I guess I scared you that much. Is that your first time?" the side of his lips rose. 

"Of course it is! you just stole my first kiss you dumbass!" she raised her tone while swinging her hand around the air in annoyance. Jungkook on the other hand is silently laughing.

"I'm really sorry, can you open the door now? my hands are aching to hold the tray" 

The door slowly opened, she let out her hand to reach the tray and then closes it back again. "Thanks" she began to munch.

"I'll wait here outside, just tell me if you're done"

Tzuyu kept on munching her food while Jungkook is busy trying to open up a conversation with her. She nods as if he would see her do that and replies back.

"Why did you stayed here anyway? You could just move to the city and make friends there. You don't want to be lonely, don't you?" she asked. She remembered when he said that he kidnapped her just to have someone with him.

Jungkook sighed, hesitating if he should tell her. "Well... the city seems nice but I think it's loud and has too much chaos going on. Unlike here, you can smell the fresh air and it's more peaceful."

"That's it?" she wanted to clarify if that is the main reason why he stayed.

"And..."

"And?" she repeated.

"And my parents are also buried here, I... just...can't leave them" she heard sobs from the other side of the door.

"I'm sorry about that, your parents might've been really good to you, that's why..."

"No they weren't" he denies.

The truth is, his parents don't always have time for him. They pass by him like he was just air. It hurts his feelings but he doesn't wanna leave them though he didn't feel loved by them.

"They're always busy, no time for me. Every time I ask them something, they shout back at me. But I guess they're just tired from their work so I also understand"

Tzuyu scoffed. "Always the same shits"

She feels the same way since her dad also ignores her whenever she wanted to talk to him. Since her mother died, he changed. He goes out without saying where he's heading and then get back angry or maybe drunk. She also thought that he might've changed because of her mother's death but it shows that it was the real him.

That's why Tzuyu never goes home, she stays in her own house or sometimes in a hotel if she wants to. Partying and breaking the hearts of men had become her habit since then.

"If they didn't treat you right, then why'd you still choose to stay? Shouldn't you be out there and partying? Letting out all the pain?"

Jungkook also thought the same. "Whenever that thought comes to my mind, it makes me feel like I'm hurting them too. They're still my parents anyway. I can't be in this world if it's not for them"

"Then why did you take me here? You could've just invited some of your friends to come along" she heard him chuckled.

"I've told you before, I like you. And my feelings just keeps on growing as every day pass by" he remembers the time when they went to the amusement park on her birthday. He can't help to smile while looking at how happy she was.

"So... you kidnap every girl you like and then confess at the end?"

"I...I think so?" they both laughed at the thought.

"Is that why you kissed me then?" she joked.

"Maybe? I'm really sorry about that. I know you're mad but please don't kill me"

"Shouldn't I be supposed to say that?"

Their laughter can be heard all over the house. She liked the conversation they were having. She's never talked to any man like this before. They always wait for her to talk first and reply nervously like they're talking to someone holding a gun. But Jungkook made it opposite, she was so comfortable talking to him.

Talking about their lives and telling jokes with the man she somehow started to like, everything is perfect.

For a few minutes, everything was quiet. She thinks maybe she should start another conversation this time.

"Hey" she started, but no one answered.

"Are you still there? Don't tell me you're asleep already" she chuckled.

"I'm serious right now..." another minute but still no answer.

She started to panic a bit. "Are you playing jokes on me again? Please stop it. It's not funny anymore" she placed the tray on her bed.

Hesitating if she should open the door or not, she chose to stay inside. She remembered her dream recently.

This can't happen.

That was just a stupid nightmare.

"No, it can't be happening," she says, walking back and forth. Thinking of something.

Maybe that nightmare was a warning in disguise? Maybe all of those things might probably happen sooner or later? Her head is full of thoughts.

A knock on the door made her stop from walking. She looked at it nervously, her body seemed to freeze at where she was standing. Hoping that nightmare wouldn't come true.
